I gave it five stars mainly based on one thing, one is that it does clean your car and the wax part, well"¦it gives about a 3 or 4 day shine. You would need to top it off with the Chemical Guys Insta-Wax or something similar that you like if you only do a wash every two weeks just to keep the shine going. The first time I used Eco-Smart, I had used nearly half the bottle. It seems to me and I'm pretty sure everyone else almost has that same kind of feeling that you're not putting enough EcoSmart on the car. It would take a couple more times before I started to know when I was over spraying or under spraying. To be honest, I tend to over spray.

The Ready to Use is a great way of seeing if EcoSmart is for you or not. If you're happy with Chemical Guys EcoSmart, I would recommend you get the concentrated form and diluted per the dilution ratio as its more cost effective or get the gallon size ready to use, whatever is easier for you.
Applying the product is pretty straight forward and I would recommend you watch some of Chemical Guys YouTube Videos on Eco-Smart. The YouTube videos where very helpful from Chemical Guys, as well as, watching other manufactures talking about applying a waterless car wash product on the car.

It takes a while before you get to the point of getting a 3 to 4 car wash out of a 16oz bottle but it also depends on how dirty your car is. Make sure you do have plenty of clean microfiber towels on hand. If by chance you should drop your microfiber towel onto the ground, PLEASE, do not use but just sit it aside. Microfiber towel will pick up debris off the ground and when you start to wipe the car you have an excellent chance of scratching the paint. Also make sure the microfiber towel is not dirty - most likely you will scratch the paint. Microfiber towels are like a magnet in that peddles and crap from the ground will attach to the fiber of the microfiber towel. I would suggest before using any fresh microfiber towel to run your hand over the microfiber towel to feel any objects that might be embedded in the towel and make sure the microfiber towel feels soft, be safe rather than sorry. Good luck!

This stuff is AMAZING! I can't believe how good my car looks. I bought this after using the Armorall bucketless car wash wipes... hugely disappointing... thought to give this a try & wow... I really didn't expect much more than the Armorall product did .. i am amazed at how good a job it does... it looks like I just washed & waxed my car. Super easy to use ... spray, wipe, light buff .. done .. my car was mildly dirty w salt on the bottom of the doors and underside .. I will absolutely be buying the largest size

Used 1/4 of a bottle on a small hatchback with some light dust. Typically clean in a coin-op wash and hand dry using Meguiars ultimate quik wax.

Did not do a great job of loosening up dust on the car, when wiping with a microfiber cloth I could feel the unevenness. Definitely left more micro-scratches than when I started. Maybe diluting and/or really saturating the surface would work better but I'd use the whole bottle for one wash.

Going to try it as a drying aid, like how I use ultimate quik wax, and see if that works better.

I have been using this product for a couple of months now. Use it in between full washes. It is incredibly easy to use. Personally, I spray a washcloth, then wipe my car. Why do I do that? Well, unfortunately this does leave residue on vinyl and plastic. Why would it? Well, it has a wax in it as well.

This really does leave a nice shine to your car with the added wax. However, do plan on wiping down your car twice. Once to wash your car, and another to wipe away the wax that will definitely appear.

Overall, it is a great product and should be used every couple of days to leave a lasting shine for your car!

While Chemical Guys tends to over-exaggerate the effectiveness of their products, their description of their waterless wash is mostly accurate. When used properly and generously, it is very effective at lifting dust and light dirt off of surfaces without marring or scratching your paint. I can also attest that this product does have some sort of anti-static properties as it has prevented dust and dirt from sticking to my car. As far as the wax claims, the wax built into the wash acts more of a lubricant to avoid scratching your paint when wiping off harsher debris, bird droppings, or bugs. Yes, it does add some gloss and shine to your paint, but you would be better off using a spray wax on top of this product to truly enhance your paint. Overall, its a great product and a good alternative for those who have limited access to water. It also does not streak in comparison to some other waterless wash solutions out there. The main problem I have with this product as well as other CC products, is that it is quite overpriced. I would recommend buying their concentrate instead and diluting it yourself. ONR and Ultima WNR work just as well at a lower price point.
